'DISRESPECTFUL': Former World No. 1 CAROLINE WOZNIACKI said that MARIA SHARAPOVA's wildcard entry to April's Porsche Grand Prix is "disrespectful" to other players. The Stuttgart event "starts two days before the Russian's 15-month doping ban ends and she will not be allowed to attend until the day of her match." Wozniacki: "Obviously rules are twisted and turned in favor of who wants to do what. I think everyone deserves a second chance ... but at the same time, I feel like when a player is banned for drugs, I think that someone should start from the bottom and fight their way back" (BBC, 3/12).
